It's not like the job was open a month ago, when he could have taken it. You can begrudge him for leaving Florida, but you can't blame him for taking a long time to make a decision, the job was nopen for a week.Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17958843468425299776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13077505008567790382007-06-01T08:50:00.000-04:002007-06-01T08:50:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.roboninjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11315016895444029563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-69945633248902467402007-06-01T08:46:00.000-04:002007-06-01T08:46:00.000-04:00Going to the Magic is absolutely the right move fo...Going to the Magic is absolutely the right move for Billy. If we get Anthony Grant to replace him, then no harm no foul. And if not Anthony Grant, it will be Larry Shyatt, who would be acceptable.

He may have given Florida basketball its proudest years, but at least Spurrier gave notice early enough to give the the school all the time it needed to find a replacement and not KILL the program (not that Zook was a good choice).<BR/><BR/>Billy made the UF basketball program from scratch and now he's just single handedly destroyed it by leaving so late that every big time coach (notably Gillespie and Beilein) are taken.
